Neutrogena has thrown the gauntlet down at Proactiv's flawless feet. Hayden Panettiere, Neutrogena's new spokesmodel, looks pretty good!

According to the commercial we saw while watching Gossip Girl, the secret to perfect skin is Neutrogena's personalized skincare system, Skin ID.

This one is true.

A lot of the really, really good skincare companies put a lot of focus on products for new moms, kids, and babies, and for good reason -- this group needs high quality products. However, the rest of us like to be pampered, too, and vedaMAMA is taking good care of us. Really, really good care.

VedaMAMA is a part of vedaPURE, a collection of noncosmetic skincare products that uses "ancient ayuvedic principals of balance and health, herbal remedies for calming and soothing and the highest standards of excellence in modern care for ... chic sassy moms and hip 5th Avenue fashionistas." There are none of the typical presevatives or steroids you often find, and it's even safe enough to eat.

Colleen123pitbulls has an unusual article of clothing here that can be yours for 99 cents! Catch: it's fugly.

There's something oddly Britney Spears about it, something about the flesh tone with spangles. Everyone remembers this hot mess of a moment at the VMAs, right? At least on Britney it didn't have the "unusual long frays" that look like Ace Bandages.

Let us guess -- this purse was Nicole Kidman's idea. Ha! -- too easy, we apologize. Anyways, in all seriousness, have you ever heard of a purse that needs a face lift? Well, one company, Zagliani, has decided that all handbags would be better off injected with botox.

Do you have a man face? Most men do. It's a fact.

Gessato Face Treatment's cell regeneration complex is a lightweight serum to help keep that man face as boyish as possible. It provides protection for the neck and face, which is nice, but it is also an agent for active rejuvenation. It's kind of like the fountain of youth in a small pump.

There are a bunch of vitamins in the formula, as well as ingredients we have trouble spelling. Together they help rebuild the skin's complex defense system and smooth out wrinkles by naturally hydrating the face and neutralizing the actions of free radicals. Do we sound smart when we say stuff like that?

Gessato Face Treatment "improves skin tone and hones the neckline, reducing the unsightly effects of double chin." That alone is worth the purchase.

We've been using the serum for a few weeks now (as well the shaving treatment), and we've got to admit- it's good. Yes, we still act like we're James Bond when we call it 'serum' and sometimes we pretend it will self-destruct if we don't apply it in a downwards motion, but that's okay if we act a bit boyish, or face will back us up.

Do you have red bumps on your arms that you just can't seem to get rid of? If so, you're in good company. In fact, 50% of all adults have "chicken skin" arms, officially known as Keratosis Pilaris.

KP is completely harmless, but for those of us with the rough skin it can be a downer, especially during hot, summer weather. You want to wear sleeveless styles, but it's just one more thing to be self-conscious about.

There's no cure for KP, but there are treatments. Mainly it's a combination of exfoliating and moisturizing, with lotions that can do both being the obvious one-step solution. It's important to find one that you like, because you have to keep up the treatments. Like dandruff, it's a skin condition you can manage but not eradicate.

The final installment of celeb favs. We know your sad that it's the last hoorah but don't cry, dry your eye because this one promises to bring a smile to your little face.

Here are the products that help get celebs body-ody-odies moisturized and looking right.

No we don't mean Jay-Z's record label or the Republic of China. We mean ROC skincare. As the website clearly states it has been "the skin care leader in France since 1957," and we believe it. Though many products come and go from our insanely full medicine cabinet, ROC has been a staple. Just stopping usage for a few weeks in between purchases we saw the difference and it wasn't pretty. Now we stockpile ROC and *fingers crossed* will look as good as those zexy French ladies do.

Here's a little taste of what this award winning (plenty of "Best of's" in Self, Allure, etc.) line has to offer you.

Now that he's getting older, Pharrell Williams no longer thinks his tattoos look good on him, and so he will be undergoing a revolutionary process to cover them up ... with his own skin. It's basically like a skin graft, the 35-year-old singer told Vogue, only "you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you."

There are plenty of reasons to make your own lip balm. It's healthier than the more chemically processed stuff. You know just what's going in. It's easy. It'll help you go easy on your dough stacks (or lack thereof). They make a great gift. Yada, yada, yada.

Here are three tried and true recipes that we love to slave away over the hot stove for.

There is no denying the truth behind the phrase, "You are what you eat." A perfect example is the huge zit you always get after housing a greasy pizza. You can also put a positive spin on the saying and change the way you eat for good.

Summer is the best time to kick start better eating habits for your skin, hair, body, and even your mind. There is so much juicy fruit and yummy grilled chicken around that it's easier to say no to macaroni salad and the ice cream man.

WTF? Toad bag? Don't you mean "tote bag?" This is crazy talk.

This is not a "tote" bag. No. This is a toad bag. From Australia. Like Fosters pretends to be.

Has anyone ever looked at a toad and thought "mmmm...handbag?" WTF?

Are you looking to update your skin care products or makeup now that the summer sun is starting to shine? Before you end up with a drawer full of fancy new products, make sure you know what your skin truly needs.

This article, at Divine Caroline, gives the lowdown on how to read and evaluate your skin. The type of products you use should be based on your skin type, so you need to know whether your skin is sensitive or not, as well as whether it is dry, oily, normal, or combination.

There's no doubt about it -- Heidi Klum is a knockout. Well, now, you can be, too! Or, at least, you can use her skincare line and have your skin look flawless.

Heidi claims that using her new line (marketed on infomercials), "In An Instant," is "like airbrushing your wrinkles away." Okay, Heidi, we're intrigued -- tell us more.
